A 1080p video at youtube.com plays but going full screen while it's playing
causes the screen to go white while the sound continues.When the video is
finished pressing the esc key gets things back to normal.

If I try to exit to a prompt, the computer freezes up completely and have to do a hard reset. I then can't get a chance to create a pup_save file, because the same thing happens on trying to reboot.

The xorg.conf file confirms that the radeon driver is in use, but there is also a second 'Device' section where the vesa driver is listed. That seems a bit strange.

I'll have a go with the due-to-arrive Wary with the earlier kernel and the earlier Xorg version. I suspect that video would be OK with this. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for all the hard work. It's running very fast on this hardware._________________Life is too short to spend it in front of a computer

As I thought, the X problem causing the machine to freeze now doesn't happen on shutdown. The xorg.conf now has the radeon driver correctly listed in the Device section and no second Device section showing the vesa driver.

So this then seems like an problem with the 7.6 version in Racy.

This may not be a typical setup but I had a couple of issues with racy 5.1.99

First I tried to install it a virtual machine on the same virtual disk along Slacko-4.99.1 and Lupu-258, but the universal installer failed (sorry, I didn't look for possible causes), so I had to install it manually.

Then I modified Racy to work on OLPC laptops according to the automated process we published here

The XO-1 (Geode) worked fine.

The XO-1.5 (VIA7) failed to detect keyboard and mouse/touchpad in X, but keyboard is fine in console.
For the XO-1.5, I compiled the chrome driver in Racy without problems and does not appear to be the source of the mouse/keyboard issue.

Xorg.log reports no issues other than that Synaptics can not be used and thus unloaded. However, this is also the case with the other puppies modified for the XO-1.5 and is not giving any problems.
Also there is nothing in Xorg.log or /tmp logs to suggest any problem with the keyboard but still it fails to be detected.
All the kernel modules needed appear to be loaded and there is nothing suspicious in /var/log/messages. It actually shows that keyboard and touchpad were detected OK.

So I really can not see where this is coming from
If you have any suggestions I would be happy to try them.

One thing that might be needed is the full udev. However, the only one in the wary repo is udev-136 and does not make any difference if included. But it is quite old and outdated. Would it be possible to compile a more recent full udev version for wary/racy? I believe 167 is the one used in T2._________________Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too

Reboot creating save file and loading devx and kernel source sfs.
Reboot again increasing save file size.
Exit to prompt to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-280.13.run which compiles
without error but when finished x won't start.
The only way back to the desktop is to choose the vesa driver.

Boots directly to X with profile #PuppyHardwareProfile=AMD_ATOMBIOSAUO
(this has been identified in Fatdog64-520 and Slacko discussions as a Vesa driver profile)

Resolution 1366x768 is working, but CTRL-ALT-BKSP or "Exit to Prompt" does not work (just gets blank screen).

Now about the mysterious crash in this machine, soon after successful boot to X (observed in other new Puppies): it looks like a network probing crash, as Racy works until the network wizard starts its probe (The other new Puppies automatically launch network detection after booting to X.) I have observed this consistent crash only in this laptop and only when using the new Xorg (ie, newer than Wary's Xorg).

ISpup (based on Quirky 120) as well as Wary do not crash in this machine, but they have no usable wifi drivers (ISpup based on Quirky 120 used Broadcom driver compiled by pemasu)._________________Puppy user since Oct 2004. Want FreeOffice? Get the sfs (English only).

Now with new kernel. Is the nosmp already included or does it need such in the boot code?

Everything just worked even flash was there from scratch.
It connected to internet by itself and gphics worked

But like some Dpup and Spup puppies it has the annoying thing
If one need big screen so one use an external screen then it
keep 1024 x 600 despite it is 1024 x 768 a the hard info list it.
So all pictures leave a big chunk under that is unused. 168 lines unused? So that is annoying.

I would like to know if any of the PETs out of the wary repo don't work with Racy.

Hm what pet could I test then

will read what the others have tested and edit here again if something special needs to be tested. PPM stuff you asked for.

I am using an Acer D250 10" screen Intel 945 chips. Atom N270

I tested Inkscape but had not used it before so I drown in all the details to learn but the prgram seems to work and no crashes or anything.

To lazy to test more random things. Tell me what to test?_________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution thoughLast edited by nooby on Sun 18 Sep 2011, 08:35; edited 4 times in total
